    I would definitely come back to this restaurant again. The food was very good. The French onion soup was the best I had ever had and was a good portion size. The service was excellent, she checked back frequently. The ambiance was cozy.

    Warm reception, offer to take our coats, attentive service and wonderful food. The French onion soup was better than what I'm used to getting in Paris. I appreciated that the slice of bread floating on top had been cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to wrestle with it. My sirloin steak was done to perfection and the fries were tasty and crispy. The portions were satisfactory, I even had room for a lovely crème brulée and espresso. My husband had a Caesar salad, beef tenderloin and fries. He has also delighted by the offerings and charming service. This was our first visit but our experience was so positive, we will definitely be back!

    Lovely place when we arrived but difficult to carry on a conversation when the place got busy. Only 1 of the 4 of us ate their meal.

    Our over 80's club had our monthly lunch at Cafe Lunette. The food was good and reasonably priced. I had decided in advance that I would have avocado toast with poached eggs, but while the toast was on the menu, the option of eggs wasn't (although I'm sure they would have added the eggs if I had asked.) So we all had the daily special panino with a salad and left room for dessert - small selection, but something for everybody. Christine, our server, was really paying attention and provided outstanding service. Would definitely lunch there again.

    It was the second time dining and I was disappointed one more time. Nothing was cooked, burger and beans were raw. Food is not good at all. It took the server to bring the second order of oysters (just 3 of them) about 30 minutes. When we ordered wine and we asked about the discount of the happy hour, the server said that he doesn't have any selection of any wine and that the offer will be over in 2 weeks... we ended up ordering wine and pay full amount , same wine selection we tried to order with the discount.. The environment is beautiful, nothing to complain here. However, I would not go again. Waste of money.

    Portions were very small. Nothing was outstanding, very mediocre, the food definitely did not blow me away.
